LONDON. Sept lathe government evidently
intend to pursue their policy of persecution to-
ward the so-called offenders against the crimes
act to the bitter end all hazards. 1t is nothing
moro or lass than absolute personal persecution,
and from the words Mr.. Balfour let fall last
aight it becomes evident that the bold and
patriotic leaders of the Irish can expect
lief from the troubles forced upon them by their
pnemies except in their fortitude and
strength, or else in an uprising of the people in
their behalf. Despite tbs emphatic
protest of Mr. Parnell, Mr.. La
bouchere, and Others who forsee a
FERROUS calamity in the pent-up emotions of
injured people, the government are determined
20 treat unconvicted political prisoners as
though they were the veriest criminals. Forced
10 occupy wretched quarters, dirty and uncom-
Portable, made to undergo the same routine of
prison duties the pickpocket and sneak-thief,
the very horror and injustice of such treatment
cries ont against them as against great wrong
Truly, as Mr.. Morley said last night in the
House OF Commons, no country subjects its
political prisoners to such harsh discipline as
the English do the Irish. The cell which
MIR. O'Brien is forced to occupy and the
prison duties with which be is expected to
comply, have become the subject of widespread
comment They growing scandal. and not
only the opposite side Of the channel where
the abuses occur. but here in England, where
the orders for them emanate. public feeling is
aroused and a sentiment that gross injustice is
being done is openly expressed. Mr.. OBrien is
known to be in delicate health. and it is doubt
full X he can survive for any length of time a
system that is likely to further undermine his
health.
The Nationalist leaders to-day ASSERT that the
Tory tactics have aroused the passions of the
Irish almost beyond their control. They greatly
fear that unless some concessions are made and
unless some relief is afforded in Mr.. OBrien's
case, and in the cases of those who will in all
likelihood, follow him. indignant people will
break out in open revolution. and the govern
mens will be responsible for the crime that will
nndou btedly be committed.
It Is rumored that Mr. Gladstone, Mr.. John
Morley Sir William Harcourt, Carl Spencer and
Lord Aberdeen intend to shortly invade Ireland
IN the cause Of the new crusade, and thus cement
forever the friendship between the Radicals of
10th countries.
